LinkedIn is a popular professional social media platform used by millions of people around the world. On LinkedIn, users can create profiles, connect with other professionals, join groups, follow companies, and more. One of the key features of LinkedIn is the ability to save content that you find interesting or useful.
Saving content on LinkedIn
There are a few different ways to save content on LinkedIn:
- Save an article, post, or update to read later by clicking the “Save” icon (it looks like a bookmark).
- Follow a company or influencer to have their posts saved to your feed.
- Save a job posting you’re interested in by clicking “Save.”
- Save connections by connecting with other LinkedIn members.
Saving content on LinkedIn personalizes your feed and lets you easily access information, articles, and other posts that you want to reference later. But where exactly does all this saved content live on LinkedIn?
Where saved articles and posts are stored
When you save an article, post, or update on LinkedIn, it gets saved to your “Saved” section. To access it:
- Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of your LinkedIn homepage.
- Select “Saved” from the dropdown menu.
This will take you to your Saved page where all of your saved articles, posts, and updates are housed. They will appear in reverse chronological order from when you saved them.
Organizing saved articles and posts
On your Saved page, you have the option to organize your saved content into collections to keep things tidy. Here’s how to use collections:
- Go to your Saved page and click the “+” icon to create a new collection.
- Give the collection a name like “Social Media Tips.”
- Click into a saved item and select “Add to collection” to file it away.
Using collections to organize your Saved items makes it easy to find what you’re looking for later on.
Where saved jobs are located
When you save a job posting on LinkedIn, it gets added to your “Jobs” section. To access saved jobs:
- Go to your profile icon and select “Jobs” from the dropdown menu.
- Click “Saved Jobs” on the top right of the page.
This will display all the jobs you’ve saved. You’ll see the job title, company, location, date saved, and a link to the original job post. Saved jobs are a great way to keep track of opportunities you want to revisit and apply to later on.
Where are saved connections stored?
On LinkedIn, the connections you build up over time are saved to your network automatically. To see your connections:
- Go to your profile and click “Connections” along the top.
- This will display your 1st-degree connections.
You can also access your network from the “My Network” option in the dropdown menu under your profile icon. Your network shows all the professionals you are connected with on LinkedIn.
Managing your saved connections
As your network grows, you may want to organize your connections. LinkedIn lets you create lists to group connections:
- Go to your profile and click “Connections.”
- Click the “Manage lists” button along the top.
- Create a new list like “Industry Peers” and add connections.
Lists allow you to segment your connections so you can easily find the right people later on.
Where followed companies and influencers are located
Following companies and influencers on LinkedIn saves their posts and updates to your feed. To see who you are following:
- Go to your profile icon and select “Following” from the menu.
- Or from your homepage, click on “Following” along the top.
This page shows all the companies and influencers whose posts you receive in your feed. Their updates will appear in your main feed anytime they publish new content.
Finding everything you’ve saved
As you can see, LinkedIn stores your saved content in different areas depending on the type. But there is one place you can find everything you’ve saved all together:
- Go to your profile icon in the top right.
- Select “See all” at the very bottom of the dropdown menu.
Choosing “See all” takes you to a page that houses:
- Saved articles, posts, and updates
- Saved jobs
- Your network connections
- Followed companies and influencers
So if you ever want a bird’s-eye view of all your saved LinkedIn content, select “See all” under your profile icon. This page serves as a central hub for everything you’ve saved.
Conclusion
Saving content on LinkedIn allows you to easily access valuable information and opportunities later on. Saved articles, posts, jobs, connections, companies, and influencers can all be found in different sections of your account.
The key locations for saved LinkedIn content include:
- Saved articles and posts: Profile > Saved
- Saved jobs: Profile > Jobs > Saved Jobs
- Saved connections: Profile > Connections
- Followed companies & influencers: Profile > Following
Using the “See all” option gives you an overview of all your saved items in one place. So the next time you want to review something you previously saved, you know right where to find it!
